Like the legend of the frog in a pot of heating water, it is very difficult to imagine public opinion demanding meaningful action until it's too late.<br /><br />Science tells us that climate change is not linear. Anthropology shows us that collapsing civilizations follow a pattern. Civilizations fail abruptly and always at their zenith. That seems to be the result of perpetuating destructive behaviours which is exactly what we're doing, nationally and globally, at the moment.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-10456734327215628862019-09-23T16:01:12.378-07:002019-09-23T16:01:12.378-07:00You know when people will wake up .
